It’s Actually Very Delicious Being Green

Editors Note: I’ve been begging Mo Green to send me one of her creations for as many months as ES has been around. I guess she wanted to save her first entry for her very own birthday cake. Happy Birthday, Mo! And, yes, for her 27th birthday she baked herself a Kermit the Frog Cake.

Since I needed a lot of colors I divided the icing into different bowls then added the food coloring accordingly. The brown color wasn’t really coming together with the red-blue-yellow combo, so I’d suggest buying chocolate fudge icing.

Editors Note: As I know absolutely nothing about baking, I had a few follow up Qs for Mo Green via gchat. If you’d like to make a complete meal, please see her husband’s fish dish, the original gchat post.
